Gosford Art Prize 2024, finalist
Inga Dalrymple’s painting ‘Keep Turning Until It Clicks’ has been selected as a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize. Painted in one go over a picture which had lost its way, this work is representative of Inga Dalrymple’s process which embraces the endless possibilities of painting. Her work involves looking with curiosity and intuition to allow the elements to fall into place. Her work is very much concerned with the materiality of paint, colour and surface and this work evokes an action, the pleasurable pursuit of giving over to laying a mark down, exploration of how colour works, erasure and allowing a picture to reveal itself.
